I was one of the lucky ones who got QEWU from Amazon before they realized they'd posted the wrong price ($15 instead of $150). I got both J.R. Hale's "Artists & Warfare in the Renaissance" (which is FILLED with late 15th-early 16th century German and Italian soldiers, statesmen, and **campfollowers**) and The Art of Lucas Cranach on the sale table. Both were over $100 originally, and I paid about $30 for one of them, $15 for the other, I think.
Those are probably the only expensive books of that kind I own. Otherwise, my collection is pretty modest. MaggiRos The Elizabethan World is at http://elizabethan.org coming soon in paperback! _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
